    4500 KM – Royal Enfield Himalayan 452 – REVIEW



    In this episode, I am riding the last kilometers from the little village of Rusirani, back to Delhi. My India series has come to an end, so I share some of my thoughts about the bike. I am not an expert at doing motorcycle review videos, so I just mention the main differences between this bike and the old version, that I rode a lot too, and my opinion on the bike!

      Cool video, but I wish that RE stucked to their trued and tested formula of producing low tech, vintage looking/feeling bikes.

      There are already plenty of these KLR-ish looking bikes on the road and they all look kind of similar.

      I like the Scram 411 as it has a lot of character, unlike these modern looking bikes.

      I would like to know if the CRF300 Rally or this new Himalayan 450 is the better bike to be doing adventure tours like yours. The way I see it there is Honda quality and a more lightweight bike – albeit a little underpowered vs a more powerful Himalayan which is a little on the heavy side for solo off-roading. Opinions? CRF300 vs Himalayan 450 for traveling the world? Thank you guys.

      Noraly is "a little bit better" after years of riding. 😂I would love to have 25% of her skills!

      Hello, I’m very sorry that you broke down, I wish you a speedy recovery! You are a real hero! I have a question about the motorcycle, does it feel more powerful than the crf300? or is its mass too heavy?

      Been riding my 2022 Himi for just over a year now. Still love it. I’m here in Ohio (if you’re also near Ohio, check out Throttle Company for all things Royal Enfield). I test rode every RE model 2 years ago and wanted them all. Couldn’t decide. Ended up buying a Moto Guzzi V7 as I loved that more than anything I ever tested anywhere (still do). But I always kept thinking of the Himalayan, after watching Itchy Boots and a few other people on YouTube, as well as the great RE marketing videos/movies. So I had to buy the Himi to know, and it’s been an insanely fun 2nd bike. Pairs well with the V7. I don’t think anyone that has one of these bikes doesn’t thank Noraly for showing what these machines are capable of and introducing a whole new generation to the motorcycle world. I would love a new 450 Himi but I love the looks of the 411 better, and as a 2nd bike I don’t need all the new fancier things the 450 comes with. But if only the 450 existed, I would totally grab one. Everything RE makes I want in my garage. Haha. If anyone is still reading this far that has never tried the Royal Enfield brand, I hope you give it a try. You just might fall in love like I did and so many other people have. Cheers!

      Has anyone noticed this really high pitch noise? It sounds like it comes underneath the tank 🤔 Maybe from a fuel pump? Its super high pitched so it might be hard to hear for some 😅 And you cant really obviously hear if you are riding faster than 10km/h or something but when idling on traffic lights you can def hear it! super annyoing. Thinking about selling the bike😔

    21. @AliYouru on

      Massive upgrade from the previous Himi; super excited for this bike! It will be highly sought after by all adv riders; a bit worried about the bike stock!

      Hi. I think you are so Nice, and kind person in your real fine videos.
      I have a question about the 450.
      Would you buy this back home? And why?
      Or is there a need for more power for ensamble?
      Like 9 kilo heavyer Honda 750 Transalp?

      hello Norally.I hope your visiting to the sri Lanka and showing our beautiful country to the world on your channel. That is the great contribution for our tourism industry. Because of your videos are being watched by world wide people.

      Waiting and waiting for Honda to think of and release CRF450L my wet dream ❤
      Had 300 and sold it over underpowered engine.

    31. @rajdeeppoddar3717 on

      Quite detailed feedback I must say. I recently purchased a 450 and enjoying it thoroughly. On a side note, you may consider shifting gear to reviewer going forward. Thank you for the detailed review and feedback.

    34. @jonbeargenx on

      Miss your uploads so rewatching a bit. Thinking of getting this bike for my son and myself so what is better than watching ItchyBoots and the new Himalayan! ❤

      Es genial tu explicación, vi muchos videos referentes a esta moto, y nadie había hablado claro de su tablero dejando tan claro lo de el parpadeo de la pantalla, muchas gracias.

      Compared to other ADV in the segment, it's a light weight. Its got most of what's needed without much you don't, and doesn't break the bank in cost and cost of ownership.

      At least on paper Noraly, this seems like your perfect companion in your adventures. Simple bike with that extra power compared to Alaska, and also better suspension. Do you consider that?
